Industry Moves: QVC Shakes Up Top Ranks for HSN Merger

[mistyada]

I guess the HSN deals and coupons will be going since HSN will be headed by the former QVC Japan head.

I have not paid much attention, obviously, because I didn't know about a merger with hsn. I don't watch much qvc at all, and I stopped watching or buying from hsn a long time ago. Who bought whom? I'll have to google that.

[mistyada]

Qvc bought HSN.

They don't mention Mike George; is he off the organizational chart?  Now we call HR being the "people" person? If she's going to be in charge of communication, then she's got her work cut out for her. Maybe she can tell the CSRs about the return policy.

Mike George is still there. The top 3 HSN execs will soon be out of a job though.

Google QVC for more news like:

Thanks,  @TY.  I found another article that says Mr. George will stay in his present position. 

I know this is naive of me to say,  but I wonder what all those highly-paid execs do all day? It certainly isn't reflected in what we see on the screen.  Same old boring stuff with all these people developing new RESOURCES. I can hardly wait to see THAT.

I think it is kind of sad that HSN has been bought out.  I haven't bought anything from them in years but they were the first home shopping channel I believe.   I wonder if someday home shopping channels will go under.   Lot of competition online.

Sorry to hear George isn't expected to be part of the purges. The man must be Teflon. He and his management team would near the top of my list to go flying out the door.

NO they did not.  LIberty Interactive which is the PARENT company of QVC bought a majority interest in HSN.   QVC And HSN are now like brothers in a family where the parent is LIberty Interactive.
